Generating PDFs in Legacy
Prerequisites
If you want to continue creating PDFs, we recommend that you acquire PDF conversion software in anticipation of this change. If you are a Windows 10 or Mac OSX user, your system should already have integrated Print to PDF functionality. This change will not impact content generated in the upgraded version of BIGCenter.
Important!
These procedures are generic, as the conversion process may differ depending on which PDF conversion software your company chooses to use. Consult the help documentation that comes with your software if you have questions.
To generate a PDF in legacy:
-
Log into BIGCenter.

Click the PDF button .
